How To Add Live Chat to Your Facebook Page

A few weeks ago we sent out a survey asking our customers what they’d like to see on our blog, and the first category that stood out was Pure Chat education. That’s why this week we’re diving in and releasing an awesome tutorial that shows you how to embed a Pure Chat widget on your Facebook business page!

In addition to being an awesome, creative hack (that only works with Pure Chat we might add), incorporating live chat onto your Facebook page can also be a really valuable asset. According to Social Habit Research, 42% of people complaining on social media expect a response within 60 minutes.

That means your team’s response rate could be the difference between creating a brand advocate and losing a customer. Big deal. Fortunately, live chat can help alleviate the time crunch and give those unhappy campers the attention they need ASAP!

If you want to get a sneak peek, we have our Pure Chat widget set up on Facebook and it’s already been a great additional way for us to provide support. This is a great way to drive additional leads with live chat software. Check out our written tutorial below for all the details.
